Clover picked out photos taken following the earthquake from 1906 and 1907, and then attempted to replicate the scenes. This meant figuring out exactly where the original photographer stood and matching the light and angle of each individual photograph. The results are startling, with the old buildings, old fashions, and old destruction thrown abruptly into our modern view. It also shows off the rebuilding that took place after so many buildings and streets were knocked to rubble.
